I just saw a trailer for The Chronicles of Riddick

This movie looks badass. It almost has a Dune Feel to it.

Oh baby. I loved Pitch Black. Can hardly wait for the game to come out, and of course the movie will rock the casbah.
I know what color underwear Jania wears. So there

Was that the movie with Vin Diesel playing a character named Riddick (I think) who was a prisoner, where they crashed on some godforsaken planet infested with man-eating bugs??

If so, that movie rocked hardcore.. and this one looks like it'll rock just as much.

Yeah that is the one. I believe this is supposed to be the first movie in a trilogy. So we can look forward to much more ass kicking goodness.

As far as I understand it, Chronicals of Riddic is suppost to be a pre-quill(sp?) for Pitch Black. That much I have gathered from my co-workers who are fans (Note, I work in a movie theater)

I haven't honestly sat and watched Pitch Black all the way through, however it seems fairly kick ass after the lights go out.

What's this thing do?

Hmm, from what I heard, this happens after the events of Pitch Black.

The new game that's coming out takes place when he's still in that prison colony and the new movie will take place after Pitch Black.

hay guys whats going on in this title?

Wasn't so keen on the film as a whole (Mostly the writing and acting.. the actual landscapes and so on looked cool.)

But Vin Diesel as Riddick worked very well I thought. I might very well watch this film

The only real problem I had with Pitch Black was the 'coincidence' factor.

A bunch of evil demonic bugs which have a horrible weakness to natural light happen to evolve on the least friendly planet imaginable. Meanwhile a prisoner who just happens to be able to see in the dark crash lands on the planet just as an event that occurs every six years(or however long) where the planet goes dark and the evil bugs come out to kill.

"He lets the last Hungarian go, and he goes running. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they grew up in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. No one has ever seen him again. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'If you rat on your pop, Keyser Soze will get you.' And nobody really ever believes." - Roger 'Verbal' Kint, The Usual Suspects

Yeah, I almost shit myself when I went to see some movie about six months ago and saw the teaser. Didn't recognize what it was supposed to be until Vin Diesel backed into the shadows and the light reflected off his eyes. Then they had to call the janitor and sanitize my seat.

Originally they opted to make the movie a prequel, but decided against it. The game is the prequel (the story of Riddick's many escapes from incarceration, mentioned in the first movie). Vin Diesel's given all sorts of input for the game (he apparently really enjoyed playing Riddick, and had what sounded to me like some cool ideas for the game), and they got the guys who made the first movie to pass in some ideas. The movie, however, takes place AFTER the events of Pitch Black.

Yeah, the movie takes place a few years after the events in Pitch Black. Riddick is roaming the galaxy and stumbles over this planet that is under assault by these horde-like zealots.

I'm glad they made it a sequel instead. If it were a prequel it would have to involve Johns, the Bounty Hunter.

I hated that guy. He was so annoying. He was supposed to be a big bad ass that could take Riddick to the limit and was the only one who ever caught him, but there was no comparison between him and Riddick. Vin Diesel even acted circles around the guy playing him, and not even the most ardent Vin Diesel fan can pretend he can do anything other than grunt, shout, and look sexy on screen.(Which is what makes him such a good action star! )
